Namaste!
Kalaikoil provides slow and meticulous training in Hindu Vedic chanting, Puja Vidhi and Bharatanatyam since 1995 at our studios in Dublin and Livermore, CA USA. Bharatanatyam class is in Dublin on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. We are in Livermore on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Bharatanatyam curriculum is geared to all children Ages 3-18yrs and new students enroll at Vijayadasami. Hindu classes taught by Pandit Ravichandran are for students that completed Upanayanam.
In addition to our rigorous training, students imbibe commitment, humility, confidence, respect and attention-to-detail. Skills honed at an early age may benefit future career choices. Hence we encourage joining children at a young age. Dedicated instructors provide an individual and focused learning experience that is artistic, educational and engaging. We frequently invite other instructors for inspirational workshops. When ready, students participate in temple, local competitions, community performances and Arangetram solo/house concert. Eight students are currently preparing for their Salangai puja (structured solo 2.5 hr Arangetram), Fourteen Bharatanatyam students completed an Alagappa certification, solo stage Arangetram, Salangai Pooja and/or pursued this dance art tradition after training.

Classes are educational, fun, and so effective at training students in this traditional, ancient South Indian art form. My daughter has learned so much grace and poise studying Bharatanatyam with Swetha, and we are so grateful for her deep knowledge and expertise in dance. Plus, there are many performance opportunities, which is great!! Glad to see Swetha keep these parts of our culture thriving with the new generation and get them excited to learn about Indian arts and culture.

This is a longgggg overdue review. My older daughter started going here when she was 4.5 years old. Now she is 13 years. She loves it there. She started there as a shy, young girl. Early on, she didn't show that much grace in her steps as the other kids in her group. Swetha, her guru told us right away, that expressions were her forte, the grace in her steps will come with practice, as she grows older and becomes more disciplined. Both are important parts of dance.
